De Literaire Agenda

Deze serie duikt in het cruciale belang van literatuur en lezen in de hedendaagse wereld, waarbij de staat van het literatuuronderwijs binnen academische instellingen kritisch wordt onderzocht. Elk deel biedt een polemisch perspectief op hoe traditionele literaire waarden worden uitgedaagd door zowel interne disciplines als externe druk. In een tijd van economische noodzaak en technologische verschuivingen pleit de serie voor een vernieuwing, waarbij de discussie over de betekenis en waarde van literair lezen voor kritisch denken nieuw leven wordt ingeblazen.
